I like pastries, but I don't LOVE them. The pastries here though may have changed my mind because they are delicious! What I got: - Ham and cheese croissant: I forgot to ask for it to be warmed up, but it was still really good! The croissant was flaky and light, and the perfect vessel for the ham and cheese which was pretty distributed throughout the croissant itself. - Monkey Bread: now this is the pastry that has me convinced I love pastries! I already want to go back and try the other pastries + get this one again lol. Total, I spent $13.40 on the 2 items.The service was efficient, and sweet. It seems like a small business, which we love. There are 2 display cases with some items sold out by the time we got there around 11am on a Thursday. There is no seating inside. But the space was bright and clean. The lady who took our order was nice, and efficient.
Very good pastries. I think the best thing here are their croissants (I like more simple/plain flavors. The matcha crookie is very good, but too heavy and sweet without milk/coffee. I didn't like that the cookie on the inside was not fully baked. It was somewhat gooey. The chocolate monkey bread is delicious with the perfect crunch to each bite, and so is the vanilla rum croissant. Plain canele is also really good, but I would avoid if you don't like the toasted flavor since the outside is very toasted and crunchy. The inside of canele is super creamy and smooth. I would recommend to try, and I would come back for croissants.
Came here around noon on a Thursday and they were already sold out of so many things including everything I had originally wanted to try. Ended up getting a plain croissant and the chocolate monkey bread and both were delicious! This was one of the flakiest croissants I've had and the butteriness made it amazing. And don't even get me started on the layers in the monkey bread oml. Divine!!! And it wasn't too sweet, so I really enjoyed it. I'd definitely recommend coming as early as you can, so you can get everything you want before they run out! Also the store is SUPER tiny so there's no seating :(
Really cute little bakery in La Jolla. It's kind of tucked away in a plaza, but easy to find once you're there. I didn't realize until later that they validate parking, but they do, which is nice since parking is in the same plaza. We got there 45 mins after it opened and there was no line at all. A few pastries were already sold out but I still got to try all the pastries I wanted. A tip would be to go early. I follow them on Instagram and they usually sell out within an hour or an hour and a half. The almond croissant, monkey bread, and the matcha crookie were my favorite but honestly everything was really good. Overall, I'd definitely come back again and again if it wasn't so far away.
Must be a super popular bakery because at 10:40am they were almost sold out of everything. I was the only one in the shop and offerings were limited. Love this for them. The canele, only available on Fridays, was very interesting. Crisp top and sides with an egg tart consistency in the middle. Lots of vanilla flavor. Monkey bread with lots of walnuts on top was a fam favorite. I haven't tried the chocolate croissant I bought yet but it looks delectable. Agree with yelper who said having coffee here would be great. Even just a pour it yourself black coffee would be a hit. Workers are sweet and welcoming. Love a neighborhood bakery, feeling lucky we have this. First 15 minutes is free parking so if you're in and out it's a breeze.
Decided to pop by based on the reviews and I'm glad we did! Everything we tried was delicious, and the service was courteous and quick. The lime croissant was especially unique and flavorful--you could really taste the fresh lime. The shop is small--really only room for one party at a time--but it's clean and inviting. If you're ever in the area, definitely stop in and pick up a few things to go...it's worth it!
WOW. I had this place bookmarked for awhile but finally came down to check them out. It is a small and humble bakery next door to Rubicon Deli. The building signage over the store is just "BAKERY". They have a kitchen, a simple display case and a kind, beautiful woman who seems to be the owner. It's a very simple business but THE MOST AMAZING CROISSANTS and baked goods. The croissants are delicate, crispy and beautifully layered. These are miniature works of art... and the flavors are perfectly balanced. She is a young korean woman (and koreans know the art of beautiful desserts)... and wow... the stuff I ordered all blew me away. Vanilla rum croissant was beautiful to look at ... even better to eat. Gently sweet with just the right amount of vanilla sticky filling. The swirls of croissant layers were angelic and melt in your mouth. The ham and cheese croissant was a great bfast start to the day with lots of meat and delicious cheese. The croissant layers tissue thin and crispy like a delicate flower. The matcha croissant cookie was mind blowing. Just the right amount of cream and cookie crunch and not overly sweet. Again... koreans know how to do desserts... especially bread. Last and not least... almond croissant. No words to describe. Chocolate.. tons of almonds... *chefs kiss* SO AMAZING. Highly recommended. A little on the pricier side but the value for craft, creation, creativity, and taste make it quite the bargain. There was a line out the door at 9am... I will be back. Go support this small business!!! Yuummmmm!!!!
I love a good pastry...and these are exceptional! Get in line early for the best selection. Yes, it's worth the wait. Besides the beautiful presentation, these are the flakiest croissants ever! Hard to pick my favorite- but the Almond Chocolate croissant will not disappoint!
I like to go biking in the morning when the air is fresh and not many cars are out. It's cool seeing one of the owners of 102 Scone Company already hard at work. I took a break from visiting when they switched out the menu for scones. I found they have shifted back to croissants so I visited again. They are only open Tuesday - Friday now and there is a huge line at 9:15am. Croissant had a thin crunchy layer and velvety smooth soft layers beneath. Loved the sweet buttery flavor. Among my favorite croissants in town. Cinnamon croissant was shaped like a cinnamon roll but very similar to the regular croissant. There was the thin crunchy outer layer and the insides were made from the same dough as the regular croissant. The cinnamon sugar sprinkled throughout gave this treat a much sweeter flavor. Very good. It's awesome the owners have a ton of business and have 3 days a week off. I am glad the croissants are back and as good as ever. Owners were nice and efficient.
I love their caneles, which is what their previous bakery was called. They only have that on Friday's, so I decided to try their other baked goods. I tried the matcha crookie, ham and cheese croissant, and chocolate croissant. They were good, but I still have my favorite place for croissants.
Came here this Thursday morning right when they opened. They have limited parking and bakery will validate. We ordered the ham & cheese croissant and it was very flakey and delicious. Also, ordered the chocolate monkey bread, almond monkey bread, and the almond croissant. Lady behind the counter was very nice and friendly. When we left the bakery, there was a line out the door.
I have been coming to this bakery since the beginning! They changed their name from. Canele Bakery and did scones for a little bit, but then they brought back their croissants and canales! I was soooo happy, because I'm not gonna lie, I was disappointed when they changed their menu. My all time fave is the ham & cheese croissant. No other compares in my book! They always run out before I can get there, so I got three this last time. And no, I did not feel bad that I ordered more than one. Lol! The caneles, yeah, nothing compares to theirs! Not even close! It is a process to make these, so they offer them on Fridays now. Went on a Friday, and there was a line. They sold out in maybe 1 1/2 hours after they opened! You cannot go wrong with any croissants or monkey bread! So, if you have not been, you need to!
Run by a Korean couple, 102 Scone Company has gone through some rebrands over the last few years. I am glad they have gone back to selling things besides scones, but I am devastated they still do not sell the kouign aman, which is my favorite pastry by far from them. They have long, looooong lines on Friday and they move quite slow due to limited staff and small store space, so plan accordingly. Service is friendly. Prices are on the higher side but the pastries are also huge (aside from the caneles hahahah) I got a canele, the monkey bread, and an almond croissant. The canele was amazing, crispy, caramelized exterior with a custard-like interior. The monkey bread always looks a bit better than it tastes since I like the caramelized bits but the exposed bread is on the drier side. The almond croissant is also excellent, absolutely stuffed with filling and dusted with powdered sugar. The almonds on top get a bit crispy and add a savory taste to each bite. Overall I liked the pastries I got from here ,but would not come again on a Friday. Hoping they bring the kouign aman back!
I can never remember their real name - 102 Scone Company - because I just know them as the croissant (quasson) place!! They have THE BEST CROISSANTS in San Diego. Hot take, but there, I said it. The regular croissant is so crispy and flaky on the outside and chewy soft on the inside. It's a good large size. I went in thinking I would only try one, but I guess I was feeling hungry. I got to try other croissants, and all of them were so good. I didn't have a bad croissant! Ham n cheese, chocolate, almond, LIME (so good!!), and almond raspberry. Ok, maybe the matcha was a tad on the sweet side because of the white chocolate perhaps. Pricing - they start at $5. The crookie is $7.20. The parking situation really sucks though. Every 20 minutes in the parking lot is $1.50, but the first 15 minutes are free. Pray that there is no queue. There are a couple tables outside, but due to the parking, a lot of people just buy stuff and leave. read more
Croissants are back! Canele are back too but only on fridays. They no longer serve scones, though I do miss them I do like their croissants and I think I crave croissants more than scones. They are only open Tuesday thru Friday. I came as they opened and there was already a line out the door about 20 long. It's a small bakery so there's only a takeout and room enough for 1-2 people inside. I got a ham and cheese croissant. It was light, airy and crispy. There was a little ham and most of the cheese had melted to the outside. It was still delicious. I got a chocolate canele so good. The only place I know of in SD that has them. Crispy outside and moist chocolate interior. It's a bit pricy at $4 but it's worth it. So glad they are back. I also got the chocolate monkey bread. Small bunches of croissant dough with chocolate pieces between them. It's good to share as you break off each piece. They are so crispy and have a nice glaze over the top of them. The pieces of chocolate melt in your mouth. It's nice to have the crispy croissant pieces contrast with the melty chocolate. They are located in the same plaza as Regents Pizza, next door to Rubicon Deli. Service is excellent. It's basically one person behind the counter. There's a parking lot that's behind a paid gate, I think parking is free under 15 minutes, if you take longer because of the line just ask them to validate, they type your ticket number into the computer. Easily one of the best bakeries in San Diego. read more

I've been a customer through all iterations of 102 Scone Company from the time they first opened as Canelé. I'm not in San Diego as much, but a trip to 102 Scone Company is mandatory whenever I'm in town! They have the best laminated pastries and the owners are super nice. Their flavors are always on point, the lamination is beautiful, and the pastries don't sit heavily in my stomach even though I'll eat 2-3 of them in one sitting vs other bakeries. I like everything I've purchased from them. My favorite items are the ham and cheese croissant, raspberry almond croissant, and canelés when I can get them but they're only available on Fridays. I recommend checking their Instagram to see if they've sold out for the day. Come early if you can because they definitely sell out. It's a small shop where you purchase your pastries and go. There's limited seating outside of the shop. The small parking lot onsite has free parking for 15 minutes but you can ask them to validate your parking ticket if you plan on staying longer. read more

Amazing Family run bakery! Delicious baked goods are becoming easier to find in San Diego but it is still rare around UTC area. If you're a college student or a professional in the area, you have to dedicate an entire early morning run to East Village or fight for parking in downtown La Jolla or PB/Bird Rock. However, most bakeries we have still don't compare to the amazing cafes and store fronts in Seoul or Tokyo. The withdrawals HIT hard after vacation. 102 Scone filled that missing chunk in my heart. They put the same care and attention to their baking as the many fantastic patisseries/bakeries outside of the US. Whereas I feel that most bakeries here aim for good quality and plenty of quantity, I appreciate the fact that they're here for quality of food and quality of experience. This was also something I realized where most pop-up spaces struggle with after opening up a store front. I do hope the quality continues to be exceptional and as MUCH as I'd love to gate keep, this place deserves all the love. Now if only I can find quality Salt & Butter bread near me... read more

102 Scone company has rebranded from what was previously Canele bakery. I'm thrilled that they've brought back some of their old menu items, like the canele - (imo) their forte! I also tried their newer items and was happy with the overall selection. Prices have increased but not an unreasonable amount. FYI they no longer take online orders. I tried the canele (still great), black sesame financier, hazelnut financier, lemon madeleine, regular madeleine, and tigre. My favorites were the former four items. Their hours aren't the easiest to make but their pasties are really solid! read more
After hearing so much about canelés, I knew I had to scope them out. There's not many places in SD that offers them, but 102 Scone Company does on Fridays and to say IM OBSESSED is an understatement. It's the perfect cross between a croissant and a cupcake. They were incredible. 102 also offers other delicious pastries like chocolate croissant and chocolate monkey bread, all fresh out of the oven. It's a really small shop that offers mainly takeouts but there's a few tables out front for dining alfresco. It's inside of a plaza that uses Ace Parking but I think since I was just in and out with my goodies, I wasn't charged for entering the lot. Service was friendly and this spot is amazing. Catch y'all here on Fridays! Note: come early, canelés usually sell out about 2-3 hours after opening. read more
The title here is a little confusing because seriously the star of the show, in my own opinion, are their caneles. To note, the bakery used to be called Canelé and they were very popular for them. You'd have to order online just reserve some for yourself. A mind blowing crispy caramelized exterior with a moist almost custard-like interior with notes of vanilla and rum. Then they closed. Then they reopened under 102 Scone Company selling, you guessed it, scones. But thank goodness they still sell the canelés! I've tried the scones but I've never been a big scone guy but they were okay. They do also make an incredible madeleine and these scrumptious little cakes come in a variety of flavors. Whenever I've dropped in, it is the same sweet lady running the show and it's probably timing but I have never seen anyone else in front. She is very welcoming and patient especially when you're trying to order several boxes to share with friends, family, and coworkers....okay that may be a lie...they're all for me. Note-it is is paid parking lot but she can provide validation. Check the hours because they are limited. read more

The owners of Canele Bakery have pivoted to only making scones now versus a larger selection of baked goods. I am sure it was a business decision to focus on creating varieties of just one product to minimize waste and unsold daily inventory. There were nine different scone types when I visited. Single scones cost $4.25 each (plain $3.75), a half dozen was $21.25, and a dozen was $42.50. I chose the scone sitting on the far left of each display case. The first flavor was Lemon Cranberry while the second was Matcha White Chocolate Chunk. A baking sheet containing a dozen of the Lemon Cranberry was about to be unloaded into the display case. I knew that batch was going to be very warm and fresh. Each scone's dough was not as moist as I had hoped. The frosting on the Lemon Cranberry was thick while the green tea flavor was prominent in the Matcha White Chocolate Chunk. I thought the past caneles were very good and best sellers which made it disappointing that they have been discontinued. My experience at 102 Scone Company was not up to the quality of its predecessor so I gave a three star rating for the scones. read more

There are two types of people.... Those who enjoy scones and those who haven't had a scone from 102 Scone Co. These are not those heavy dried out biscuits that are the dregs of a mediocre brunch. Crispy outside, moist in. Like a muffin top with some crunch, mine were still warm. I finally understand why scones are a thing. I treated some people who care for my family to a box, because nothing says love like finely crafted pastry. Yea... I know a scone is technically a quick bread... the red headed stepchild of baked goods. However... what 102 Scone Co is whipping up elevates the scone. So don't be an elitist snob. Be generous to those you care about, bring ''em a box brimming with something transcendent. read more

So glad they reopened! They had been closed for a few months and during that time, my coworkers and I had been missing their baked goods. So when we saw that they had opened their doors again, we were so excited and pleasantly surprised to see some new items available. We also had a little chat with the owners, who have always been super friendly. They had spent the time the business was closed perfecting some new recipes. We only had a chance to try out a few of those, but boy were they delicious! I'm so excited to try the rest of those new items. read more

Don't be fooled: this place does not serve scones (anymore). However, the monkey bread and almond croissants are amazing. In particular, they have a fantastic lamination on the croissant, and they didn't "ruin" this by cutting into it and putting a wet almond flavoring on the inside. Rather, they've maintained the delicious integrity whilst putting a thicker, syrupy almond flour + nuts on top. Absolutely fantastic. Served with a smile and a bow. Seating is pretty minimal but can be achieved outside by the car park. read more

Every visit is a surprise with lovely new pastries at this darling bakery! The exquisite quality shines in every bite. Today they had a delightful selection of financiers (almond based and Gluten free), madeleines, scones, and cookies. This is the perfect place to grab a pastry on the go. No indoor seating but there are few communal tables outside shared with the Rubicon deli next door. read more
